The Challenges:
To Be Precise - Get 20 kills with a Precision Loadout Weapon. - 1000 XP
Good to see that these challenges have returned to their normal experience point rewards. April Fool's week was quite odd. Precision Loadout weapons in Halo 4 include the DMR (Designated Marksman Rifle), the BR (Battle Rifle), the Covenant Carbine, and the Light Rifle. These are all the precision weapons that you can add to a customized loadout. Sniper, Binary Cannon, and Covenant Beam Rifle do not fall into this category. Now, today, you will have to play a ton of Oddball and Capture the Flag matchmaking games to score a bunch of wins in each. It will likely not be necessary for you to jump into SWAT for this challenge since you can easily score Precision Loadout Weapon kills in these objective based playlists. Hopefully you will not need to jump into SWAT afterwards to complete this challenge.

In Your Face - Earn 20 CQC Medals. - 2000 XP
There are three Close Quarters Combat medals in Halo 4 and they are the Melee, Beat Down, and Bulltrue medals. Remember that, for the Beat Down medal, when behind an enemy, just tap melee instead of holding it to perform a Beat Down. To get these, you will typically want to be on a smaller map in an objective oriented game as it will allow you to get as many medals as possible. Oddball is typically good for close quarters combat on the smaller maps, especially if you have the ball or can use the ball-carrier to draw people in close range. As well, standard slayer games will work well too, just not as many medals per game. This challenge should only take five to eight games to complete as twenty CQC medals are easy to get. You will probably get some of these while working on the "To Be Precise" challenge so some of it is done for you.
